in early editions.
4G Hough's Amkuican "Woods.
Habitat. — Cuniulii uiul ;iurtli-c;istern United States, westward to Minnesota and reaching its southern-most limit along the Alleganies, growing in stony sandy soil, particularly on open hill-sides, where we often find it in extensive tliickets.
Physical Properties. — Wood light, soft, brittle, rather close- grained, of a markedly greenish and yellowish color and somewhat aromatic. The sap-wood which occupies scarcely one annual ring is nearly whi...te next the bark, and of a handsome gold and orange color farther in. When freshly worked the wood is very beautiful, but in time loses in part the brightness of its colors. Specific Gravity, ,0.4357; Percentage of Ash, 0.50; Relative Approximate Fuel Value, 0.4335; Weight of a Cubic Foot in Pounds, 27.15.
Uses. — Timber cannot be obtained in large enough pieces to be of great utility. It is occasionally used as choice pieces for inlaying cabinet- work, where it finishes nicely and has a beautiful effect.
